The pills were distributed to the Thunder Eagle, Dragon Scale, Death God, Iron Law Execution Team, and Death Soldier Battalion in turn. Although Sha Lang and the others did not like the hypocrisy in Wu Yunren's words, they would never refuse the pills.
First of all, Tantric Buddhism will not harm Tianmen, let alone lose Tianmen, at least not at this stage; secondly, Di Yunyi and Meiyan will participate in this operation, and if Yaowang Mansion is not somewhat sure, they may not easily let them enter Miao.
territory.
Di Cheng and other senior officials involved in the war spent a day and night learning in detail about the geographical location of Miao territory, its internal layout, and various possible dangers.
By the way, I'm waiting for Qian Ji, who hasn't arrived yet.
The next morning, Qian Ji finally arrived in a panic. Sha Lang was more interested in this guy who was trying to make a secret, but time was tight. Seeing that Di Cheng didn't ask, no one else said much.
At six o'clock, they bid farewell to Wu Yunren and other Tantric elders. Under the protection of the Eight Gates and Sixteen Troops, Di Cheng and others set out on the road to the Miao Territory. Everyone's mood was a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, and they were eager for this dangerous adventure.
exploration, but it is undeniable that I always feel a little uneasy.
I recall that the overbearing tantric coalition forces were defeated in front of Miao Jiang. Now, after twenty years of rest and recuperation, how will Miao Jiang, who has developed a revengeful mentality, punish the invaders.
The most important point is that Zhuge Qinsi is the bait and Miao Jiang is already prepared!!
For the revenge of Leng Feixue, for the safety of Zhuge Qinsi, and for the coming Chinese storm, Tianmen must not only carry out this exploration, but also must go all out!!
Miaojiang! The residential territory of the Jiuli people, a mysterious and legendary place.
In the 25th year of the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty, the development of the Miao territory reached its peak. The area west of the Yuanjiang River, south of the Youjiang River, north of the Chenjiang River, and east of the junction of Hunan and Guizhou was the Miao territory. It was surrounded by water on three sides: east, south, and north;
Shielded by high mountains, Dalal Mountain stretches across the two provinces of Hunan and Guizhou. In its hinterland, a platform terrain is formed due to geological faults, and dots of Miao villages are scattered among it.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the population of the Han people in the Central Plains increased sharply. In order to solve the contradiction between population and land, they continued to invade and occupy the Miao territory. The Miao people had no way to retreat and defend. As a result, the Han and Miao people often fought against each other to compete for living space. Some of the Miao people's trends
perished and disappeared from the long river of history. Some Miao people accepted the recruitment and evolved into the Miao people in Miao Village today.
There are also some stubborn Miao people who retreat step by step into the southwestern mountains.
This place is located in an alpine zone, and the living environment here is extremely harsh. It is shrouded in fog and miasma all year round. It is surrounded by mountains, overgrown with ancient trees, and full of strange beasts. This is the real core of the entire Miao territory, and it is also the heart of the ancient Jiuli tribe.
The eternal holy place.
This is the true Miao territory!!
Following Di Yunyi's guidance, the mighty Tianmen troops walked through the steep mountains and ridges. The season is now approaching the end of summer, and it is supposed to be cooler, but the high temperature in the south still refuses to dissipate.
Especially in the Biannan Hell with steep mountains and ridges, it is humid, sultry, and surrounded all the time. The cruel environment is a test for everyone. Fortunately, in the past three months, all tribes in Tianmen have been under high-intensity training.
During the special training, I was able to persevere by gritting my teeth.
Boom!! Boom! A dull crashing sound sounded deep in the mountains. Du Qidong and others leaned against the huge iron boxes panting. This was what the Death Soldiers Battalion insisted on bringing them. Considering that the Death Soldiers Camp
The unique behavior may be some weird killing weapon, but after careful consideration, I still carried it on my shoulders.
It's just... there are a hundred boxes, each box is four meters long, two meters long, and two meters high. Although the weight is not too much, it is difficult to carry it on this rugged mountain road in this hot and humid environment.
Such a huge thing is really a bit frustrating.
"Sect Master!!" More than a dozen strong men in white robes flashed over and saluted Di Yunyi respectfully.
They are all vigilance members arranged here by Yaowang Mansion, monitoring the Miao border all year round. Their appearance indicates that the Tianmen troops are officially approaching the Miao border area!
"How far is it?" Di Yunyi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the endless virgin forest in front of him. It was rainy in the southern area. He had just experienced a heavy rain the day before yesterday. Thick fog drifted between the sky and the earth. The distance between his sight lines was less than a hundred meters.
Looking around, some outlines of the mountains can be vaguely seen in the vast mist, but the rest can no longer be seen clearly. If Yaowang Mansion hadn't marked the trees in advance, they might have gotten lost in the boundless virgin forest.
road.
"Go forward and climb three more hills, and you will be close to the first layer of protective net in Miao territory - the poison barrier!" The answer was a cold and handsome middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows, named Wu Dong, who is a team leader. He may be a perennial survivor.
Because of this cruel environment, Wu Dong always had a sharp look in his eyes, and he was always holding a long sword with both hands, as if he was about to kill someone at any time!
"There are three more hills??" Zhang Chuo and the others secretly grinned. Not only was this rugged place, but the only rocks were roots. One hilltop was enough for them to fight for three hours. If they had another three hours... it would be dark.
"Keep walking and try to reach your destination before dark." Di Cheng looked at the situation of everyone and looked out of breath, but the actual situation shouldn't be that bad.
"Follow me." Wu Dong led the way and disappeared into the forest as quickly as an ape.
"Holy shit, slow down!!" Sha Lang muttered and waved vigorously, and the team set off again, speeding up and moving towards the target.
When the dark night completely enveloped the entire mountain range, the Tianmen troops, who had traveled for four full days, finally appeared on the outskirts of the poison barrier.
Wu Dong reminded seriously: "Turn off all your flashlights. This place is less than five hundred meters away from the poison barrier. This kind of dazzling light beam can easily arouse alertness inside. I have prepared fluorescent stones for you. The light is soft and difficult to detect.
.”
Sha Lang and others couldn't stand the tone of Wu Dong's words, but they immediately turned off the flashlight, took the small amount of fluorescent stones and distributed them.
"Miao territory has always been so quiet?" Di Cheng stared at the black hole-like environment in front of him. Not only was it as dark as thick ink, it was also eerily quiet, as if there was no sound at all.
"No matter day or night, it's very quiet here." Di Yunyi walked up and handed him a piece of dry food. "The environment in Miao territory is very harsh. The entire mountain range is shrouded in white mist all year round. On average, there is a light rain every two days and five
It rains heavily every day, and it rains every half month, and it remains the same year after year. The humid, muggy, dark, and unique environment creates a unique environment."
"What about in Miao territory? The same is true? How do people survive there?"
"From the outside or from a high altitude, the entire mountain range is like this. There is not much difference. It seems that it is impossible for humans to live in it. In fact, the internal environment is slightly better, but from the perspective of an outsider who enters for the first time, it is still extremely bad. Because
Such an environment has created the perseverance, ruthless and indifferent temperament of the Miao people, as well as... an almost extreme hatred."
"We will take action tomorrow. We will divide into three groups according to the original plan. I, Long Lin, will be the vanguard of the execution team, Wu Long will lead the Thunder Dragon troops, and finally, the Death Army will spread out and be in the center. The brothers from the Eight Gates will be divided into eight echelons.
, extending from the periphery of the poison barrier to the inside in sequence, maintaining a distance of 200 meters between each echelon, always vigilant, and keeping in touch. Once we receive our signal, respond according to the actual situation. Remember, this operation is about
This is a serious matter. We will test the adaptability of each of your captains. You must not make any mistakes, otherwise... not just a few people will be buried with you."
"Understood!!" Under the glimmering light, everyone's expressions were serious and cold, with sparkles bursting from the depths of their eyes.
"That... Brother Cheng?? I..." Yan Shou raised his hand tentatively.
"You will stay in the middle with the Death Army, ready to respond at any time."
"No, I...I brought some gadgets."
"Huh?" Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Yan Shou, what is this guy doing?
Yan Shou chuckled and pointed to the rows of dark iron boxes not far away: "They are all in there, maybe they can help."
"What is it?" Xiao Feng ran over quickly, picked up the ax and hit the iron lock hard.
"I actually never understood why you don't use them." When Yan Shou scratched his head and wondered, Xiao Feng blankly took out a... gas mask? Protective suit?
"Uh...this..." The corners of Xiao Feng's eyes twitched fiercely, and he was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"Twenty years ago, the tantric sects attacked Miao territory mainly because they were persecuted by the poison barrier. At that time, technology was not developed, which was understandable. But now is the 21st century, gas masks have become popular, and protective clothing has begun mass production.
Now, shouldn't we be more aware? When I returned to China, I discussed with Fatty Xiong... ahem, it was Xiong Cai. We hired some experts from around the world to create anti-virus products specifically to deal with the drug barrier.
Masks and protective clothing. Look, can it be..." Yan Shou said it euphemistically, with a wink that could be said to be vulgar, once again making everyone fall into embarrassment and silence.
